'Enough is Enough' - Lance Armstrong

Armstrong Drops Fight Against Doping Charges

“There comes a point in every man’s life when he has to say, ‘Enough is enough,’ ” Armstrong said in a statement.

“The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for our foundation and on me leads me to where I am today — finished with this nonsense.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/24/sports/cycling/lance-armstrong-ends-fight-against-doping-charges-losing-his-7-tour-de-france-titles.html

Lance's decision means he will be stripped of his seven Tour titles, the bronze medal he won at the 2000 Olympics and all other titles, awards and money he won from August 1998 on.

Funny that LA auctioned 7 of his yellow jerseys last weekend at the 15th anniversary bash for Livestrong. Good job the do wasn't this coming weekend!

Cienciano

Kimmage and Walsh are both on off the ball tonight. Apparently McQuaid refused to come on again.

Flandria

Bruyneel sounding ominous...

However, rest assured that the time will come when I will share with you a balanced account of events.

The people who supported him last weekend are already beyond redemption, they'd do it all again tomorrow and the next day

How can you believe anyone who puts beneath his name "9X WINNING TOUR DE FRANCE SPORTS DIRECTOR"

That's clearly a lie....

They'll be on just after 8.

And how many thanks do you have?

Arguably the 2nd greatest cheater in cycling history? Clearly there must have been systematic doping associated with this performance...

Kimmage is on now, they did say after 8 earlier.

I'm sure that would never have got off the ground if they had had biological passports in those days ...

They said kimmage in 15 mins at about ten past 7, Walsh will be on after 8.

Ah, makes sense now. Great stuff, and honest, by Kimmage.

I overheard him name-dropping being interviewed outside the bus at the start of the final Paris stage in last year's TDF and when asked about the outcome (Schleck losing) he trotted out something along the lines of 'It would have been nice to add another Tour to the nine we've already won".

Megalomaniac methinks...

leftism

Man, what an interview... The toll this has had on Kimmage is just unbelievable! You can really hear it in his voice. He's a pure legend. When he was talking about flying a Jumbo Jet full of witnesses out to Switzerland i was nearly shouting at the radio!

"GWAN PAUL YA F@CKIN LEGEND!!!"

Armstrong removed from 2009 podium on wikipedia also. Up to the 3rd step comes Mr Wiggins.

Handy considering he 'never raced in the tour de france at the same time as armstrong'

Also, see this? Poor lance is a scapegoat

Good article by walsh, he is on newstalk any min now, fellow journalist would not travel by car with him at the 2004 tour.

Walsh is giving Pat a good kicking, eh?

scrawnybawny

jesus christ
did i hear right there on newstalk;

of all the people begging to interview him who actually might have relevant questions, Pat McQuaid has agreed to do an interview with the doyen of cycling journalism that is pat kenny.
c'mon.
i'd love to see walsh and kimmage double-teaming him

You know what, you're right. You have shone a fresh light on this whole investigation. Some one should have said this to Jeff Novitsky and Travis Tygert. Could have saved everyone a bit of effort. What's Santy bringing you this year?

Lance hasn't even been tested HALF as many times as he thinks he has. Maybe the drugs messed up his memory.
